Application of Modern E-Learning Techniques in the Vocational Training in Automation and Robotics

Abstract

Economical changes in Europe, as well as increasing global competition are the reasons
for continuously growing interest in automation and robotics. It causes significant extensions of the
needs and offers in vocational training area, while development of ICT techniques enables the
introduction of new teaching methods. One of them is e-learning – distance learning supported with
electronic presentation and communication media. E-learning can be applied both in a school-based
teaching and in a vocational training for adults, and its advantages are particularly significant in
technical professions. This paper presents the application of e-learning in the area of automation
and robotics.
